Sackbuts & Classical Trombones
 |
For more than 25 years, Patrick FRAIZE & Alberto MARQUES have been making hunting horns using traditional techniques. Their science of hammering, the use of the finest materials and the beauty of their finishing give their instruments an inimitable sound that make them acknoledged among the best, in France and abroad. |
|
To rediscover the qualities of color, resonance ans sound projection of trombones of the past centuries, the bells made by Pactrick FRAIZE & Alberto MARQUES are not only accurate to original measurements but also to the original processes : a thin (0.3mm) sheet of brass is formaed, hammered, scraped, burnished and polished by hand without mechanical or chemical intervention. Then, this bell is fastened to the flat stay by a hinge with a removable pin for a more free vibration. The revival of interpretation in the field of "early music" enable the today's trombonist, unlike his former colleagues, to meet a fantastic repertoire of about 500 years. The more experimented player feel that this diversity cannot be expressed with a simple instrument. Therefore, we propose a choise of some models typical of every evolution of the repertoire. We finalized every model while making the most accurate copy as possible of the original, then while making eventual tuning corrections with the help of the Dr. WOGRAM from the physical-acoustic laboratory of Braunschweig (Germany). |

Renaissance & Baroque sackbuts
|
The Alto-baroque model id based on the EHE 1720 instrument from the Leipzig University collection. Thougt it is a late facture, its bell profile is a good compromise between a narrow bell stem (baroque) and a quite shaped (renaissance) cone with a bell end of 99mm. |
 |
|
The Tenor-renaissance model, after an instrument of the Edinburgh University Collection built by A. Schnitzer in 1594, is very similar to the "Drewelweez 1595" model of the Nuremberg Museum. The Tenor-baroque model is a copy of the Hainlein 1631 in the Frankfurt Historical Museum. Its narrower bell stem and more flared bell with a diameter of 102mm give a finer sound for a soloist uses or in a section completed with an alto and a bass scakbut. |
 |
The tuning system is integrated in the main slide of alto & tenor instruments. The removable bell hinge allows you to reach the different piches (465, 440, 430 ou 415Hz) by changing the bell-bow without any alteration of the original conicity, tuning or tone color. |

The Tenor-Austrian early classical model, copy of Huschauer 1794, bell-size 117mm, in the Edinburgh University Collection; this type of bell, with a greater volume and a bell-diameter between 110 and 138mm, appears about 1690 and was still made in Mozart's day. It is the ideal instrument for the virtuoso Austian works of Caldara, fux, Ziani, Haydn...
Price of the whole instrument : 1 916,00 euros TTC
Optionnal bell part : 1 092,00 euros TTC
Additional bow at another pitch : 168,00 euros TTC
The Bass-Baroque model is based on the Goltbeck 1635 model, for the Leipzig University Collection, but double-coiled to be pitched in 465, 440, 430 and 415. Its medium bore (11.6mm) conbined with a wide bell stem and aconical flare (diam. 122 mm) gives it a colourful timbre. Its very long slide allows it to be played in F at 465, 440, 430 et 415, as well as in Eb. 465 and 440, due to the several tuning slides included in the price.

German Classical trombones
Our German classical models are copies from a set of 3 trombones (alto, tenor & bass) in the Bate's collection (Oxford). They were built the same year (1814) in the same anonymous workshop. Appeared circa 1769 with the "Eschenbach" or "Schmied-Pfaffendorf" models, this type of instruments has a very narrowbell stem ended by a strong flare and joins harmoniously the early symphonic orchestra until 1840 (Schubert, Beethoven, Mendelssohn...). |
